Added a brand new progression system Pets (still in the early stages of development).
Added a new game parameter Pet Drop Rate, which is currently only affected by the battle level.
Added weapon and body filters to the leaderboard.
Fixed an issue where the refresh hotkey R in the leaderboard interface was not working.
Significantly optimized bullet performance, improving bullet movement smoothness at high frame rates.
Restructured the Blast collision algorithm, significantly optimizing its performance.
Improved the damage number recycling algorithm, significantly optimizing performance when handling huge quantity of damage numbers.
Optimized performance of the bullet and enemy tracking/turning mechanism.
Improved mouse interaction sound effect playback logic.

The current version introduces the prototype of the pet system, with some basic features available to test the experience of acquiring pets and the partial effects of general skills.
